The Searching Sakai mission requires you to find Imai Sokyu in Sakai in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. You can get lost easily if you roam around too much, and Imai Sokyu doesn’t have a marker on him. Here’s Imai Sokun’s location in AC Shadows.
Imai Sokyu’s Map Location in Sakai in AC Shadows
When you are on the “Searching Sakai” mission, you’ll see more details about the quest, such as “he is in Western Settsu and he is in southwestern Sakai.” You can press left on the D-pad to show the additional mission details.
In the image above, you’ll find Imai Sokyu’s exact location near the center of Sakai. The southwestern Sakai detail can throw you off, but if you follow the main road and head south, it should be easy to spot.

How to Finish the Searching Sakai Mission in AC Shadows
Use your left trigger or L2 to go to Observation mode. You’ll see blue and yellow markers around Sakai. I highly suggest grabbing all the yellow markers, as most of these are resources for your hideout. The blue marker is for your quests, which, in this case, would be Imai Sokyu if you are near him.
Imai Sokyu’s house or entrance is by the side of the road, and you can use the image above as a reference. Barge inside the door, and you’ll see Imai Sokun, son of Imai Sokyu.
The Searching Sakai mission should update after the cutscene, but you’ll still have to continue the rest of the objectives before finishing the mission. You have to follow Imai Sokun and listen to the dialogue. There’s an auto-follow feature when you are near him, so you can use that to sit back and listen.
After the lengthy dialogue, you’ll eventually finish the Searching Sakai mission and move on to the next main mission.
